Definitions

  • Hydraulic valve play equalization elements with inner elements are known and used in bores of rocker arms or cap plungers with which they cooperate. However, there is the possibility that these inner elements can slip out of the bores into which they have been inserted before the complete valve play equalization element has been finally installed and therefore, the inner element was prevented from slipping out of the bore by additional contiguous sheet metal elements.
  • the novel inner element of the invention for a hydraulic valve play compensation element for internal combustion engines is comprised of a cylindrical element (3) closed at one end and having a reduced outer diameter (7) and a peripheral groove (8) therein at the other open end and a piston element ((5) guided therein for longitudinal displacement and projecting from the open end of cylindrical element (3) beyond the latter with a reduced outer diameter (6) in this region, a sheet metal cap (9) with a radial flange (10) engaging the reduced diameter (6) region of piston element (5) and with a substantially axially extending collar (13) on the open end of cylindrical element (3) engaging on at least some points of its circumference with groove (8), characterized in that sheet metal cap (9) has at least one projection (11,14,15) radially projecting at at least one point about its circumference beyond the outer diameter of cylindrical element (3).
  • the sheet metal cap has at least one projection about its circumference which radially projects over the outer diameter of the cylindrical element and can engage a diameter enlargement of the bore into which the inner element is inserted. It is not necessary to make the diameter enlargement specially since it is provided anyway for machining reasons at the end of the bore as a means of discharging the machining tool.
  • the projections may be produced in any suitable manner such as chipless formation from the cylindrical collar of the sheet metal cap or cutting a tongue out of the collar of the sheet metal cap with two parallel cuts and bending the tongue obliquely outward.
  • FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view of an inner element of the invention inserted in a rocker arm.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention of a sheet metal cap showing the projections.
  • an inner element of the invention consisting of cylindrical element 3 with a closed end 4 is inserted in a bore 1 of rocker arm 2 and piston element 5 is guided therein.
  • the known piston element 5 contains a check valve and a known helical spring is arranged between the piston element 5 and the cylindrical element 3 which forces the two elements away from each other.
  • the piston element 5 projects beyond the open end of cylindrical element 3 and is provided with a reduced outer diameter 6 in this region.
  • the open end of cylindrical element 3 is also provided with a reduced outer diameter 7 in which there is provided a peripheral groove 8.
  • a sheet metal cap 9 is placed onto the reduced end 7 of cylindrical element 3 whereby radial flange 10 engages reduced outer diameter 6 of piston element 5 to prevent the latter from slipping out of cylindrical element 3.
  • Substantially axially extending collar 13 of sheet metal cap 9 engages groove 8 to hold the cap 9 in place and collar 13 is also provided with projections 11 about its circumference which project beyond the reduced outer diameter 7 of cylindrical element 3 and engages enlarged diameter 12 at the end of bore 1 in rocker arm 2 to prevent the entire inner element from slipping out of bore 1.
